Our stay at the Ringling House was most enjoyable and well worth the fee that we paid to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Have stayed at a number of B & B's over the years and will say that this one ranks as one of our tops. Great old-time structure that has been well preserved. Our hosts were very gracious in making sure we enjoyed our stay.
